Bi-directional Charging / Home Power Backup

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

One of the biggest things I'm looking at in the total utility delivered from an EV Pickup is its ability to compliment my whole-home security plan; power being the most important.

I really hope this truck has 2 things:

  1. Auto Bi-Directional kick-in (with safety checks).
  2. On-board generator, either for range extending or destination self-recharging.
I would love to see this vehicle as my own portable powerhouse, and oh yeah, it also seats 6 ( I definitely want seating for 6).

I wish Scout would partner with a third party like Anker Solix and the E10 system that just came out. After all, if you have to drive your Scout from home and still need backup power, you need some additional batteries or generator with inverter and connection to your home if the Scout isn't there. I've reserved a Traveler with Harvester (which you can force to stay off in the UX as Dre demonstrated ) but I know I'll need another separate system even if my Scout does V2H. We can't stay home the whole time and will have to disconnect to drive the Scout away. So it can't be the sole system I rely on during a power outage. I wish it would easily intetrate with the system, though.

This is one thing I can say Ford did right.
